SOLICITATIONS: Hermes Press to reprint pre-code Brenda Starr comic books
Press Release
Before Fredric Wertham wrote The Seduction of the Innocent (SOTI), before the Kefauver Hearings, and before the infamous Comics Code, comic book racks at local drug stores and newsstands boasted a plethora of delights highlighted by the good girl adventures of the comic book version of Brenda Starr. These four-color wonders displayed all the finer things loved by comic books buyers: good girls, bondage, a little torture, and other exciting things, which adults thought would corrupt the morals of young and impressionable readers (Brenda Starr cover art was even used as an example in SOTI). Now for the first time in over fifty years, fans can read and own these rare comics from another era digitally restored to perfection and presented in an archival reprint.
